The only right thing I see here is Miguel and a little bit of Nas… So many hip-hop artist are out and the garbages take all the “fame”!

Hope Channel Orange wins that album of the year, although the Black Keys are always tough comp. I’ll settle for a victory over Chris Brown though, man fuck that nigga.

BTW, Kendrick’s album was probably just outside of the eligibility period, which was 10/01/2011 to 10/01/2012 (not a 100% of the end date).

I love love Niggas in Paris, but Daughters? That song was some of the best Nas and hip-hop in a minute.

hahah what the fuck is this shit?!?! best rap album? hell fuckin no.

Kendrick would be nominated NEXT year for GKMC. Albums released late in 4th quarter are typically left for next year awards.

With that said i think this is the year Nas gets his first grammy, he’s been nominated countless times but never won.

A Visitor!

Here is what I believe should happen imho …

Best R&B Performance: “Adorn” by Miguel
Best Urban Contemporary Album: “Channel Orange” by Frank Ocean
Best R&B Album: “Back To Love” by Anthony Hamilton
Best R&B Song: “Adorn” by Miguel
Best Rap/Sung Collaboration: either “No Church In Wild” or “Cherry Wine”
Best Rap Performance: “Niggas In Paris”
Best Rap Album: “Life Is Good” by Nas
Best Rap Song: “Daughters” by Nas

If Nas doesn’t win at least one Grammy this shit is rigged.
In a discourse like hiphop and pop music where everyone is always trying jump on the bandwagon of new trends, Nas held his own and created a coherent album that was 100% him. Not some desperate shit trying to be relevant

BOB

WHERE THE FUCK IS GOOD KID MAAD CITY?!

I’m so glad Undun is up for Rap Album of the year. Such an under rated and under appreciated work of art. I hope it wins

Channel orange is one of most solid and critically acclaimed projects of the year… replay value is amazing(for me anyway).

channel orange is for fags so check you needa check yourself. unfortunantly mainstream media and illuminati make it acceptable in the society to be gay even though if in god they trusted the would know god hates gay people. with that beig said, frank fag ocean should not be nominated for any grammys and rick ross and 2 chainz for best rap album? wtf ypou gotta be kidding me

GRAMMY NOMINATION CUTOFFS FOR ALL ARTSITS WAS SEP. 30.. K DOT RELEASED G.K.M.C LATE OCT.

@Cop, God does not hate “fags”, God doesn’t hate anyone. The bible says Judge Not Lest Ye Be Judged. Get outta here with that ignorance jackass. Frank Ocean’s album was great, but I have a feeling Mumford & Sons or The Black Keys may take it.

Thank you to vic for pointing out what Kendrick fans do not seem to understand. The cut off date is NOT the last week of December people lol. No awards show, be it music, film or other, goes by calendar year. There’s always a cut off date. And GKMC came AFTER the cut off date.

JAyP

Miguel, Frank O, FUN, & Nas should win!

fuckwhitepeopleandniggers

2 chainz for best rap album? wtf…Dreams and Nightmares was better than that shit, and thats not even saying a whole lot. what a joke.

C-los

Undun should be considered for Album of the year. But I don’t really care about these things

Jimbo

These nominations are a joke. Who the fuck would nominate God Fogives, I Don’t for best rap album of the year? lol That shit was Ross’ worst album.

jhock420

This is a joke, why noone cares about these awards. TOTAL bullshit, lot of bullshit nominated in terms of hip hop awards specifically, the nominees for best rap album are laughable go lupe I guess.

stuckofftherealness

Undun was album of the year before Life is Good was released. Almost not fair to The Roots. Curious to know how 2 Chainz alum got up there. That album is trash IMO.

Take Care is gonna win best rap album. Thats my prediction and then of course a bunch of hip hop fans are gonna be mad but I dont know why because secretly they like that album. I know people feel like The Roots and Nas should win but thats why they should’ve probably supported those albums if they thought they were so good. Personally I think Lupe should win best album but he tells the truth in his music so he definitely lost in a world of fake shit. Take Care is gonna win.
